  description: >-
    The Sense Client REST API provides access to historical trend data and
    account information for Sense home energy monitors. Authenticated users
    can retrieve aggregated energy consumption and solar production statistics
    across configurable time scales including day, week, month, year, and
    billing cycle. The API returns device-level disaggregation data showing
    individual appliance consumption, grid exchange metrics, and monitor
    health information.
